When you're 51, grandmothers that can roll joints will be as common as teenagers that drink alcohol. And you might not be a 51 year old grandmother if the trend of people having children later and later in life (or not at all) continues.

yes that's right, conservative Christian mother of two, married to the father of her children for 12 years, vixnix, rolls a better joint than you

just let that sink in

My friend that didn't even smoke weed or cigarettes could roll the PERFECT fucking joint. She just had talented hands, I guess

Don't know why I said all that in past tense, I still talk to her, but now neither of us smoke weed. I only miss it when I have a panic attack, since it helped me calm down. Now I just have to ride them out. I don't think that eventually gets any easier, but I'll let you know.

When I'm 51, my kid will be 24. Seems okay to me. I don't care if I'm a grandparent or not (it's not really my decision) but it would be a better age imo than my own mother, who is about to turn 65 and has a 15 month old granddaughter.

So when I first met Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she asked me what I was looking for out of us seeing each other. I'm open to whatever, be it casual, poly, long term, etc.

She said she pretty much has to have short term relationships because she does a lot of travelling. Which is interesting to me, because it's a reason that I never considered why someone would look specifically for short term flings. I was cool with that anyway.

We've been meaning to meet up again for a while, but our schedules haven't lined up. When I asked her what her schedule is looking like before she leaves for Australia at the end of the week, she said she's been seeing a guy and "it just feels a bit weird to hangout with other ppl romantically"

I'm like, welllllllllllllllllllllllllll, that sucks, but whatever. It seems kind of weird to me that she can only do short term relationships but wants to latch onto this one guy. But whatever yo, it's her life. Just feels lame when you have good times with people and it turns out like this. It seems to happen a lot. At least she hasn't ghosted me (yet?)

I think people dont really know what they want, and just backward-rationalize from the ineffable feelings and impressions they get. That's why they will often say they want one thing, but then do another.

Haha, like trying to turn toward healthy coping mechanisms is going to work.

There's a reason we turn to alcohol and carbs for comfort. They signal those desired neurotransmitters a lot more effectively than exercise, reading, or painting ever could. Maybe with enough effort, we could train ourselves to get the same reward from positive actions. But I don't gotta train myself to enjoy these sour neon worms.
